There’s an earthy, dark-humus character that comes through in many of the Ross Estate wines, and this Cabernet shows it as well, blending that with hints of green herbs, chocolate and cassis. It’s a bit coarse in texture at this young age; give it another year or two to settle down, then drink it over the next five to six.——J.C.(11/1/2007)—— 86
